What is nutrition in amoeba |
|
Answer» The mode of nutrition in Amoeba is holozoic and various steps involved in the process of nutrition are:\t Ingestion: Amoeba ingests food with the help of its finger-like extensions, called pseudopodia, when a food particle approaches Amoeba it forms pseudopodia around it and forms a food vacuole inside the Amoeba\t Digestion: Various enzymes from the cytoplasm enter into the food vacuole and break them down into simple soluble molecules\t Absorption: The simple soluble food is absorbed by cytoplasm of Amoeba from food vacuoles through the process of diffusion\t Assimilation: Amoeba cell obtains energy from the absorbed food through respiration and this energy is utilized by Amoeba for its growth and repair of the body\t Egestion: When a considerable amount of undigested food gets collected inside Amoeba, its cell membrane ruptures and throws out the undigested food.
